The colourwork pattern brings to mind both waves and Greek key patterns, so I named these after a Greek sea goddess.

The pattern assumes familiarity with stranded colourwork, cabling, and basic cuff-down sock construction techniques. It will go a lot faster if you know how to work cables without a cable needle - I have not included a tutorial for this in the pattern since there are a number of good ones, such as this one, already available. The colourwork and cable patterns are currently provided only in charted form.

You’ll want to have 100 g of your main colour available as well as 20-25 g of your contrast colour.

Four sizes are included:
Small (56 stitch cuff, to fit approximately 7 inch foot)
Medium (64 stitch cuff, to fit approximately 8 inch foot)
Large (72 stitch cuff, to fit approximately 9 inch foot)
Extra Large (80 stitch cuff, to fit approximately 10 inch foot)

These fit just a bit tighter than a stockinette sock with the same stitch count, since you adjust your gauge for the colourwork portions.
